What Our Lawyers Recommend Doing If You Are Injured In An Electrocution Accident In Florida

After an electrocution accident in Florida, our lawyers know protecting your health should always come first. Seek immediate medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor, because injuries from coming into contact with electricity can cause internal damage, nerve injuries, heart complications, and symptoms that may not appear right away. Prompt medical treatment also creates important documentation connecting your injuries to the incident.

To protect your legal rights, report the incident as soon as possible and document everything. Take photos of the scene, power equipment, exposed wiring, burns, and visible injuries if you are able. Keep copies of medical records, accident reports, and proof of lost wages or expenses. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before understanding your rights, as these incidents may involve claims against employers, contractors, property owners, utility companies, or manufacturers of defective electrical equipment.

  • Jeff was so compassionate toward me and my husband at the time, and pretty much anybody involved. He just had a way of making you feel comfortable with him. We just really struck up a rapport with him, and it was genuine. He was genuinely concerned about this happening and felt that he needed to fight for us.

    - Loretta Balotta, Former Client

  • Electrocution cases are a niche. Defense experts for utility companies are the best in the U.S. and it takes an expert to fare against their seemingly unlimited resources and power. The cases are so labor intensive and require you to work around the clock, as the defense team can be up to six or seven attorneys. Jeff brings the intensity those cases require.

    - Rick Arcaro, Attorney

  • I met Jeff about 40 years ago and during that period of time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with him on cases, so I’ve had the opportunity to see how he works. He’s very, very specific in what he does. He’s very good at what he does. He delves into all the medical and all the liability issues. He’s somebody that I believe personally is one of the smartest, most conscientious attorneys in the State of Michigan.

    - Leonard Koltonow, Attorney

What Types of Compensation Can A Lawyer Help Me Recover After An Electrocution Accident In Florida?

After an electrocution accident in Florida, a lawyer can help injured victims recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, and reduced earning capacity. Serious electric shock injuries often require extensive treatment for burns, nerve damage, cardiac injuries, brain trauma, amputations, and other permanent conditions that can affect every aspect of a victim’s life.

Victims may also be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, scarring and disfigurement, disability, and loss of enjoyment of life. In fatal electrocution accidents, surviving family members may be able to pursue wrongful death damages for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship.

Because electrocution and electric shock cases frequently involve utility companies, construction sites, defective power equipment, OSHA violations, and complex engineering evidence, it is important to work with our experienced attorneys who understand how to investigate these highly specialized claims and hold negligent parties accountable.

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Past and future medical expenses (which includes hospitalizations, surgeries, procedures, rehabilitation, physical therapy, prescription medications, and transportation costs for medical appointments)
  • Past and future lost earnings and wages
  • Punitive damages (where the responsible parties engaged in intentional conduct or gross negligence)

Who Can A Lawyer Sue After An Electrocution Accident In Florida?

After an electrocution accident in Florida, a lawyer can identify and pursue claims against one or more responsible parties depending on how and where the incident occurred. Common defendants include electric utilities and power companies when injuries are caused by downed power lines, improper line placement, inadequate maintenance, or violations of safety standards. Property owners and landlords may also be liable if unsafe wiring, code violations, or known electrical hazards were not repaired or properly disclosed.

In workplace and construction-related electrical incidents, a lawsuit may be filed against general contractors, subcontractors, or third-party companies responsible for electrical work, site safety, or supervision. While workers’ compensation usually prevents lawsuits against a direct employer, state law often allows claims against negligent third parties whose actions contributed to the injury.

An attorney may also pursue claims against manufacturers, distributors, or suppliers of defective electrical products or equipment, such as tools, machinery, transformers, or safety gear that malfunctioned or lacked proper warnings. By conducting a detailed investigation, an experienced and specialized attorney can determine all liable parties and pursue every available source of compensation.

Jeffrey H. Feldman, Electrocution Attorney

How Long Do I Have To File A Lawsuit?

The deadline to file a lawsuit depends on the type of claim involved. Most personal injury lawsuits are based on negligence and generally must be filed within two years from the date of the accident under state Statutes § 95.11. Wrongful death claims involving fatal incidents with electricity also typically have a two-year statute of limitations running from the date of death.

However, certain exceptions can affect the filing deadline. Claims against government entities, utility companies, or cases involving minors, defective electrical products, or concealed hazards may involve different notice requirements or legal deadlines. Missing the statute of limitations can permanently bar you from recovering compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Because Florida electrocution cases often involve complex investigations, OSHA regulations, utility company defenses, and highly technical evidence, it is important to contact our experienced electrocution lawyers as soon as possible after an accident to protect your rights and preserve critical evidence.

How do I choose the best lawyer for an electrocution accident in Florida?

Choosing the best lawyer for an electrocution accident case in Florida requires careful consideration of experience, expertise, and track record. Not all personal injury practioners handle electrical injury cases, and these claims often involve complex factors such as utility regulations, workplace safety rules, or defective equipment. A specialized attorney has the knowledge and resources to investigate the incident thoroughly, identify all potentially liable parties, and build a strong case to maximize compensation.

When selecting a legal representative, look for someone who has a proven history of handling electrical and fatal electric shock cases, understands the medical and technical aspects of these injuries, and is willing to guide you through every step of the legal process. Early consultation ensures your rights are protected, evidence is preserved, and deadlines are met. Choosing an attorney with specialized experience in these complex cases gives you the best chance of obtaining full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.


How Much Does An Electrocution Accident Lawyer Cost In Florida?

You can hire one of our experienced electrocution accident lawyers for no money down and no payments unless and until we win your Florida case. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we don’t collect our fee or require repayment of litigation costs until after your case is done and we have recovered a winning settlement or verdict.

In other words, if we don’t win your case for you, then you don’t pay our fee and you don’t have to repay us for our case costs.

Our contingency fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict amount that we recover for you. Under the state’s Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 4-1.5(f)(4)(B)(i), the contingency fee percentages vary based on when your case is concluded either with a settlement or trial verdict.

For Florida cases that resolve early in the litigation process, the electrocution accident lawyer contingency fee will be:

  • 33 1/3% of any recovery up to $1 million; plus
  • 30% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million; plus
  • 20% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million.

For Florida cases that resolve later in the process or even after trial, the electrocution accident lawyer contingency fee will be:

  • 40% of any recovery up to $1 million; plus
  • 30% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million; plus
  • 20% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million.

For Florida cases where all of the defendants admit liability and the case goes to trial only on the issue of damages the electrocution accident lawyer contingency fee will be:

  • 33 1/3% of any recovery up to $1 million; plus
  • 20% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million
  • 15% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million.

Litigation and case costs may include the following expenses:

  • Filing fees
  • Court costs
  • Expert witness fees
  • Investigator fees
  • Costs for filing and serving the complaint and subpoenas
  • Deposition costs
  • Medical record fees
  • Copying costs
  • Printing costs
  • Mailing costs

How long does a settlement take?

The timeline for a settlement can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and the number of parties involved. Cases often require a thorough investigation, gathering medical and technical evidence, and consulting with experts to accurately determine liability and damages.

Settlement negotiations with insurance companies can take time, especially when multiple parties are involved or when the injury is severe. In some situations, a lawsuit may be necessary, which can extend the process due to pre-trial procedures and trial scheduling. Our attorneys work diligently to streamline the process, keep clients informed, and pursue fair compensation as efficiently as possible.


How can a lawyer maximize an electrocution accident settlement in Florida?

Our lawyers work to maximize electrocution accident settlement by taking a thorough and strategic approach to every Florida case. We conduct a detailed investigation, gather critical evidence, and consult with technical and medical experts to establish liability and demonstrate the full impact of your injury. By identifying all responsible parties—including employers, contractors, property owners, utility companies, and equipment manufacturers—we ensure that no source of compensation is overlooked.

We also carefully calculate all damages, including medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and, in wrongful death cases, loss of companionship. By negotiating from a position of strength and being prepared to take your case to trial if necessary, we pursue the maximum possible recovery for our clients while protecting their rights throughout the process.


Do you need a local lawyer for an electrocution accident case in Florida?

When choosing an electrocution accident lawyer for your Florida case, proximity isn’t always the most important factor. These personal injury cases are highly specialized, and many local attorneys may not have the experience or track record needed to handle these claims. In contrast, our attorneys focus exclusively on these complex cases, bringing years of specialized experience, access to top experts, and a history of successfully taking on large utility companies and insurers.

At Electrocuted.com, Jeff Feldman and Chris Stombaugh represent individuals and families in catastrophic electrical injury and fatal incident matters across the country. Even though they are not local, their expertise and proven results allow them to investigate cases thoroughly, identify all liable parties, and fight for full compensation.
